Art That Blows

Music Instruments Repurposed Into Art: Silent Auction

Presented by Hallmark

July 12th – At The Abbott KC

About the Event

Make plans to join Band of Angels at the sixth annual Art That Blows 2019 where we combine the art culture of the KC Crossroads with a high-energy party, all in support of Band of Angels. This year, we’re excited to have a brand-new venue, the Abott KC, in the heart of the Crossroads Art District. Local artists have re-purposed donated, nonfunctional musical instruments into pieces of art for this ticketed event. Guests may bid on the pieces during the silent auction. Following the silent auction, ticket holding guests may enjoy music while overlooking the breathtaking Kansas City skyline.

A selection of drinks, light appetizers and desserts will be served throughout the silent auction portion of the evening.

The Event’s Goals

The artists’ skills are the star of the show here, taking instruments that are beyond or too costly to repair and re-purposing them into works of art. The goal being to auction off these instruments, which would otherwise be worthless, as art with proceeds benefiting the students Band of Angels serves.

Over sixty artists lent their time and talent for the 2018 event, and thousands of dollars have been be raised for Band of Angels.
